After making the challengecard I was so inspired that I made this card for my sister in-law.

Used most of the product I used with the Color Inspired Challenge. Accept now I stamped a Butterfy and gave in transparant antlers with a bead at the end and I used brown patterned paper, a sanding block and instead of my fastenator I used ordinairy white staples.

This time I am entering a Color Inspiration Challenge from Kristina Werner for the 1st time. She is one of my favorite cardmakers on Youtube.

Now I can enter because I don't have to use Stampin' Up colors. (I simply don't have anything from SU) I am very very very happy I can enter by just using the colors she picked for this challenge (Brown, Red, Yellow, Turquoise & White).

This is her inspiration photo.

Here's the card I made with the required colors.

I made a RED card, cut off a strip and made a border with a corner rounder. Attached a strip of TURQUOISE cardstock and stamped on a border with Stazon Timber BROWN.

I used a friendship stamp and stamped it with Stazon Timber BROWN ink on a piece of WHITE cardstock and matted it on a piece of TURQUOISE cardstock. I attached this with foamtape on the RED strip that I had cut off the card before and placed that on a piece of YELLOW wire mesh and attached it on the card with my fastenator using a YELLOW staple.

Then I took a wooden butterfly that I colored with Stazon Timber BROWN ink, made some faux stitching with a WHITE gelpen and attached it on the RED card with some foamtape.

I enjoyed making this card and entering this challenge. The colors were great to work with.

Tonight I made this simple card for my father in-law.He had to move to a special home after a stay of 3 months in the hospital.He's not well and I wanted to cheer him up a little with "Een Opkikker". (medical: lift). Kikker means Frog in dutch. ;-)

The card had to be simple, otherwise he could panic. I've chosen sunny colours and hope for a little smile on his face.
